It's usually a good practice to have two columns called
date_created and date_updated in every table. One
can always use it in application and it helps in debugging too as
to when a record was created and last updated in various
circumstances and contexts.

This responsibility can be given to MySQL to automatically assign
current time values to these columns.

In MySQL 5.6 onwards, this can be done by setting the data type
of the columns to be either date time or timestamp and creating
date_created column with NOT NULL DEFAULT
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP schema and date_updated column
with NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00' as schema with
attribute ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.

We introduced a new library to use with our update-feature inside
Workbench. With the new lib (yassl) it’s possible to use SSL
encryption for the authentication/download of new SE releases.
This was not possible with libcurl because we’re not allowed to
use/bundle openSSL. As this update is included staring with
5.0.22 all SE users will have to download version 5.0.22 manually
from the enterprise pages one more time. Please logon to
https://enterprise.mysql.com/software/gui_tools.php with your
mysql username and password, download the latest release and
launch the installer manually. Sorry for the inconvenience.
